Soft Start Feature
The soft start feature allows a slow speed build-up to avoid an
initial jerk when starting. This feature is particularly useful when
working in confined spaces.
Electronic Variable Speed Control
The electronic variable speed control offers added tool control
and enables the tool to be used at optimum conditions to suit
the accessory and material.
Auto-balance Feature
The auto balance feature continuously adjusts the balance to
reduce the vibration of the machine when it is running. This
improves user comfort during the operation and is particularly
useful when using the machine for long periods of time.
Clutch
The torque limiting clutch reduces the maximum torque
reaction transmitted to the operator in case of jamming of a
disc. This feature also prevents the gearing and electric motor
from stalling. The torque limiting clutch has been factory-set
and cannot be adjusted.
No-volt Release Switch
The on/off switch has a no-volt release function: should the
power be shut off for some reason, the switch has to be
deliberately reactivated.
Overload Protection
The power supply to the motor will be reduced incase of motor
overload. The power will return to normal once the tool has
cooled down to suitable operating temperature.
